'Until Death Do Us Apart' (Tom Hiddleston Fanfiction)

Chapter 62

'*Purpose - Etham*'

SUNDAY 25.12.2021

On that Christmas Day, I woke up in my man's arms. Since we had decided to get back together two days before, things had been simply wonderful. There was no awkwardness or uneasiness like at the beginning of a new relationship, we knew each other, we knew what we liked, we knew what we wanted from each other.

We were going to spend Christmas dinner at Tom's parents' house with his two sisters. Then, in the early evening, we were invited to Chris and Elsa's house to celebrate the day properly and with alcohol. Tom had indicated that if it was too much for me, we could come home early from his parents' house and not go to Chris'.

"Merry Christmas princess," my man whispered against my lips.

"Merry Christmas Lovey," I wished him back as I kissed him.

We had just made love for the seventh time in two days, making up for lost time with joy and passion. His naked body was crushed against mine, I could feel each of his bones sinking into my skin. I loved having him so close to me, even if it made it hard for me to breathe properly.

"Gift or shower first?" he asked as he kissed my neck.

"Shower first," I replied, giggling under his kisses.

Tom pulled back and knelt beside me with a big smile. In an elegant and calculated move, he placed one arm under my knees and the other under my upper back. Quickly, he lifted me up and pulled me against him. He carried me like a princess or like a married woman, making me laugh out loud.

He finally put me in the shower, which he quickly turned on. As the water ran over the top of my hair, Tom pressed his lips to mine and put both hands on my ass. We had orgasmed less than two minutes ago and yet, we both felt like making love again.

Wrapped in my shower robe, I briefly dried my hair with a shower towel. Tom was positioned behind me and kissed my neck and shoulders relentlessly. It felt so good to be with him again, it was all I needed.

I knew I was going to make it through my first Christmas without both my parents because of him. I knew he was going to make me laugh, make me feel good and be there for me today. And, the first painful step of that day would be to open the gift my father had given me on his deathbed, asking me not to open it until Christmas Day.

"There you go," I expressed to him as I handed him a gift from me.

"And this is for you," he replied, handing me my two gifts.

I had bought my present for him in December last year. Lea's father, who worked at OMEGA, was able to buy a 'Seamaster Diver 300M 007 edition' which was the watch that Daniel Craig wore in 'No Time To Die', his last James Bond movie.

In normal circumstances, the watch cost more than 9'200 CHF so about 7'200 GBP. Thanks to various discounts and loyalty bonuses, I was able to buy it for 1'580 GBP, which was nothing for me now that I was earning a lot of money.

Tom had given me an amazing Swarovski bracelet and the earrings that went with it. They were beautiful and shiny, absolutely majestic. I had immediately put them on with the help of my man and smiling like a fool.

"Thank you so much Lovey", I thanked him and kissed him powerfully.

"Thank you too Love, this watch is just beautiful," he informed me with a big smile.

"I – um - I have a gift to give you from my father. He gave it to me when he was in the hospital," I remarked as I pulled two gifts out of a drawer.
